BALTIMORE (WJZ)—Danger at the Inner Harbor. Another lawmaker calls for more police to patrol the hottest tourist spot in the city.

Meghan McCorkell has more on the city’s response.

One state senator is now calling for Maryland State Police to patrol this area alongside Baltimore City police. But city officials say the Inner Harbor is already safer.

A vicious beating on Saint Patrick’s Day. A mob of teens fighting. A 7-Eleven looted. Senator Jim Brochin says these high-profile crimes show a need for Maryland State Police patrols at the Inner Harbor.

“People don’t want to go downtown because they don’t feel safe,” he said.
